I've been reading a lot about the Web 2.0 in general
lately, including it's history and all of it's uses... There is VAST potential out there we are not using yet!
For instance, there is a very famous Marketer by the name of Seth Godin who pretty much pioneered Web 2.0, and he went on to found Squidoo.
One of the fundamental thoughts driving Web 2.0 is a quote of his; "Everyone is an Expert."
It basically means that if someone is talking about the subject of what you ate for lunch today, YOU are the expert in that field.
Keywords out there are dedicated to you, 24/7/365. You're the go-to person on several such subjects that could be searched in Google for at any time!
(Scary, huh?)
I realize that it may be hard to think of this simple mindset for being responsible for all of Web 2.0, including the many big sites like YouTube, Squidoo, MySpace, Facebook, and Digg, but that is exactly what drives them and allows them to be profitable.
We already had a system in place to spread the biggest news out there. It's called the Press and their AP newswire.
Web 2.0 makes YOU the new press and it is in fact cutting into a HUGE chunk of the profession's profits...
Nearly half of America, for instance, reads Digg.com daily, so therefore isn't turning on the Channel 4 news as much!
(TV Advertising rates have been dropping ever since Web 2.0 was created!)
So what does this mean for you? What impact should this have on your day?
Well, if YOU are the new press, why aren't you being PAID to submit your news each time you use digg, squidoo, or any other web 2.0 website?
Think about it... A huge central focus of where we get our news is changing rapidly, but the new business model is to NOT PAY the new Reporters!
Well, you know SOMEONE is getting paid... :)
Luke Parker figured this out earlier than most of us and created a system that allows you to get paid for using Web 2.0... And paid well.
Believe it or not, he's got a list as long as your arm of different places you can go to submit your news every day for cash!
That's right, you can receive payment to report about your weird toenail clippings now... And in fact you really should have been paid for it all along, according to Luke!
He goes one step further and shows a way not just to get paid for the random gossip we mostly see out there, but to compound your income by thinking smarter...
For instance, if you have a business online you'd like to advertise, then he suggests you use these resources to get paid to promote that business!
Press for your business is another kind of news, and Luke makes tons of cash every day doing just that! I've been watching his Surefire Success System since it was just a 'Version 1.0,' and it was pretty impressive stuff already... But now it has graduated to full 2.0 status...
He's added all kinds of tools and beefed up his strategy even more, so I really am looking forward to learning all about it myself! It was just released and I already bought my own copy - using the $20 off discount of course...
